Each day the Union Pacific yard has a southbound train to leave Wichita, the WTFW, which is shown here passing a Spaghetti Warehouse, a popular eating establishment in the Old Town section. Old Town is a revived old side of downtown Wichita now filled with restaurants and clubs. The FWWT is the corresponding train to return from Fort Worth on the former Rock Island Tracks. After the demise of the Rock, MKT took it until they were merged into the Union Pacific. Usually, the WTFW carries grain and coke (a form of coal).
